What met Lin Xiao's eyes was a man of extraordinary bearing. His handsome face, combined with a well-tailored suit, made him appear even more remarkable. At that moment, his gaze was scornfully fixed on Lin Xiao.

When Zhao Qingqing saw him, it was as if she had seen her own father. She excitedly exclaimed, "Bai Chengfeng, you have to teach this filthy beggar a lesson for me!"

Bai Chengfeng? Lin Xiao was suddenly reminded of yesterday at the hospital. When Su Qingning told her mother about her marriage, her mother had asked if the groom was Liu Shaoyang or Bai Chengfeng. At the time, Lin Xiao had stormed out of the ward in anger, but he still overheard the name. The fact that Su Qingning's mother mentioned him was enough to show that his relationship with Su Qingning was anything but ordinary.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao unobtrusively took another look at him. This look, however, took him aback. The man was indeed handsome, but his brow concealed an evil aura invisible to the ordinary person. This was clearly the nefarious aura of someone who had dealt with poisons for many years. Lin Xiao's thoughts suddenly turned to the Love Gu inside Su Qingning. Could this piece of trash be responsible for it?

Upon hearing Zhao Qingqing's words, Bai Chengfeng smiled casually. "Don't worry. A mere beggar is no real threat."

As soon as he spoke, Zhao Qingqing felt emboldened. She said arrogantly, "You filthy beggar, let me introduce you. The man standing before you is Bai Chengfeng, the second young master of the Bai Family, a prominent family in Jinling City. His older brother is a general under the War God of the Western Region. Killing trash like you is easier than crushing a bug."

Lin Xiao shrugged dismissively. "So what?"

The War God of the Western Region might be powerful, but he was scarcely worth a glance from Lin Xiao. Besides, the so-called War God was merely a subordinate of his own senior brother.

"So, you'd better get on your goddamn knees and apologize this instant! Otherwise, Young Master Bai will end you in a minute!"

Lin Xiao's gaze fell on Bai Chengfeng. "What, are you going to stand up for her?"

"Stand up for her? I'm merely drawing my sword to right an injustice," Bai Chengfeng replied, looking down on Lin Xiao from on high.

Lin Xiao laughed. "Drawing your sword to right an injustice? You're not worth shit."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was shocked. No one could believe Lin Xiao would dare say such a thing. Zhuo Bufan was even more flabbergasted. He could dismiss Zhao Qingqing, but he could not afford to ignore Bai Chengfeng. Setting aside the Bai Family's power, the mere fact that Bai Chengfeng's older brother was a general under the War God of the Western Region was enough to keep Zhuo Bufan from acting rashly.

Zhao Qingqing, on the other hand, began to smirk maliciously. She couldn't believe this filthy beggar actually dared to insult Bai Chengfeng. If this isn't courting death, what is?

"You filthy beggar, you're fucking dead now! Young Master Bai, kill him!"

At some point, Bai Chengfeng's eyes had become as sharp as daggers, fixed on Lin Xiao with a piercing, sinister gaze.

"I'll give you a chance to rephrase that," Bai Chengfeng said coldly.

Lin Xiao thought for a moment before speaking indifferently, "My apologies. I did misspeak just now. I shouldn't have said that you're not worth shit."

Zhao Qingqing smirked triumphantly. And here I thought this filthy beggar was so defiant. I didn't expect him to cave so quickly. But she was not about to let Lin Xiao off just because he seemed to concede. "Young Master Bai, this trash insulted you. Even though he's backing down, you can't let him off easily."

Bai Chengfeng sneered, "I never intended to let this trash off so easily!"

At that, Lin Xiao smiled. "Don't be so hasty, I haven't finished. I said you're not worth shit, and that was indeed my mistake. I wasn't clear enough. To be precise, you *are* shit!"

Bai Chengfeng's face turned ashen. His eyes glinted with an even more sinister light. Yes, Bai Chengfeng was thoroughly infuriated. Never in his life had he been so humiliated by a beggar. This was an affront he naturally couldn't swallow.

Just as he was about to explode, Zhuo Bufan, who was standing to the side, suddenly intervened. "Young Master Bai, I know you're angry, but be the bigger man. He's just a beggar, why stoop to his level? If you killed him today, people wouldn't be impressed; they'd just think you're a bully throwing your weight around. How about this? Let him apologize, and we can just let this matter drop."

These words actually moved Lin Xiao slightly. He hadn't expected Zhuo Bufan to stand up for him.

However, after hearing Zhuo's suggestion, Bai Chengfeng rebuked him furiously, "Zhuo Bufan, who the fuck do you think you are? Does this have anything to do with you? Get the hell away from me."

"Young Master Bai, please calm down. Our young miss said to value harmony in all things," Zhuo Bufan said, forcing a smile.

"Fuck! Trying to use Shao Mei'er to pressure me? Let me tell you, I'm not fucking scared!"

Zhuo Bufan fell silent.

Zhao Qingqing, that troublemaker, suddenly grinned maliciously. "You filthy beggar, you're fucking dead! Who would have thought that bitch Su Qingning would have to live like a widow right after getting married? This is absolutely delightful!"

Bai Chengfeng was momentarily stunned. "Zhao Qingqing, what do you mean? What does this filthy beggar have to do with Su Qingning?"

"Young Master Bai, you don't know? Su Qingning married a filthy beggar," Zhao Qingqing said proudly.

"I'm aware of that," Bai Chengfeng responded indifferently.

"This filthy beggar *is* the one that bitch Su Qingning married!" Zhao Qingqing said, growing even more smug.

The look in Bai Chengfeng's eyes instantly turned malevolent. New hatred piled upon old. Just as he was about to burst, he noticed something off about Zhao Qingqing's laughter.

"Zhao Qingqing, how exactly did Su Qingning end up marrying this filthy beggar?" Bai Chengfeng asked coldly.

"It was all thanks to me!" Zhao Qingqing boasted proudly.

BOOM!

Rage erupted in Bai Chengfeng's heart. When he received the news yesterday afternoon that Su Qingning had married a filthy beggar, he had been so furious he felt like he was going to explode. If he hadn't had other business to attend to at home, he would have gone to find Su Qingning right then and there to demand what the hell was going on. But to think that after all this, the source of the trouble that nearly drove him insane was this bitch, Zhao Qingqing.

Containing the raging fury in his heart, Bai Chengfeng asked with a smile, "How exactly did you convince Su Qingning to marry a beggar?"

"I drugged that bitch with an aphrodisiac and let this filthy beggar ruin her. Then I forced that slut to marry him," Zhao Qingqing said with a triumphant look.

"So, you were the one who forced her," Bai Chengfeng said, a thoughtful, almost playful look on his face.

"Of course! A bitch like Su Qingning deserves to be married to a filthy beggar!" Zhao Qingqing boasted.

As she said this, a terrifying glint flashed through Bai Chengfeng's eyes.

The next second, he whipped his hand back and slapped Zhao Qingqing fiercely across the face.
